Netflix shared the viewership data for their top films and series during the week from September 2nd to September 8th. Notably, the newly-released movie “Rebel Ridge” topped the charts in the film category, even though it premiered as late as September 6th.

Over its initial three days on Netflix, the movie “Rebel Ridge” was watched for a total of 68.6 million hours, surpassing the viewership of the second-place film, the recent Netflix horror sensation “The Deliverance,” by a significant margin of over 25 million hours.
